Joe, I never had a problem with Clinton going along with Rubin on this. The problem I do have was that Rubin went to work for Citicorp after leaving his job a treasury. This is the biggest conflict of interest I have ever seen and no one including Limbaugh has ever commented on it to my knowledge. Rubin working as treasury secretary engineers a one year waver so that Citicorp can acquire Travelers a violation of Glass Stegall. I remember Maxine Waters saying that this merger would not take place. I laughed at her because I knew the approval had already been made far above her pay grade. Then Rubin helped to repeal Glass Stegall. His next job was vice chairman at Citicorp. Sure looks like a payoff to me. It bothers me that no one in the media picked up on this. I have the same questions!!! And, Greenspan had to be in on the deal as well along with Paulsen.

Otherwise why would any sane individual want to run for a political position with a campaign detective, the FBI doing thorough background checks on the potential candidate along with the campaign candidate research of the various media, etc. From my experience the order for reasons of individuals running for office are: Power, Financial Stepping stone to a higher position, sex and finally for the good of the public and constituents. PS From your contributions to this site in appears to me that you have had contacts and experiences to much of what I have experience. But, that is just my opinion, right or wrong. If I am correct in my assumptions we could have an interesting personal discussions regarding the movers and shakers in Missouri and US.
